FROM THE HEART OF AN OLDER WOMAN  As I bring this series to a close I wanted to share what I believe to be the best advice I can give a younger woman, have a RELATIONSHIP with God. I mean a real relationship, like you would with a best friend or better yet, with your husband. A relationship where you talk and share all of your feelings. A relationship where  [ Read More ]

It certainly didn’t take me very long this year.  It is not even New Year’s yet and I have already broken a resolution!  This year I had resolved to NOT make any resolutions. The typical, “lose weight, be a better housekeeper, get up earlier for a more productive day, etc.” have gotten kind of old and tired, so I decided why even bother this year?  That is, until my nine-year-old  [ Read More ]

Sweet are the days whenever we meet, Gathered there near the mercy-seat. His grace provides a sweet perfume, When, with Christ, we commune, Together, we gather, to renew, Those things we all hold True. How fortunate to gather, are we, In His presence, here to see, Truth, as if from the Savior’s lips So that each soul, now equips, Himself to seek and find the lost, Because sweet Jesus paid  [ Read More ]

How does God handle our attempts to honor Him when we’re not quite sure of what He’s expecting from us? Will we be acceptable as long as we’re sincere? Let’s take a lesson from a very early example: In Genesis 4, we are introduced to a man who sought to bring to God something he personally valued. Cain was a tiller of the ground, in contrast to his brother Abel,  [ Read More ]

Being a mother is a God-given privilege that not all women have.  Some women never marry, some choose not to have children and some earnestly pray for children but aren’t blessed with them.  God has plans for these women, too.  But for those of us who are so blessed, we have a tremendous responsibility.  This is the most important job we have.  Let’s look at some biblical principles that will  [ Read More ]

Titus 2:3-5 reads as follows: “The aged women likewise, that they be in behavior as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; that they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed” (KJV). There  [ Read More ]

Pardoned, with sins forgiven, I’ve caught a glimpse of heaven. Love lights the way, As I press onward each day. No more alone to wander, Heaven is waiting o’er yonder; Where I shall go with Jesus to stay. Trusting the Rock of Ages, I fear no the storm that rages. Sweetly I’ll sing— Praises to my King. I’ve made preparation; I am a new creation. In my heart the Glory-bells  [ Read More ]

Click here for Part 1  Pre-Readers One fun way to teach the different functions of worship is to “play worship” at home. The children love to set up the living room as a worship service and pretend to be Sunday morning worship with all the different parts. Explain from the Bible what we do and why. 1) Lord’s Supper: Acts 2:42, Acts 20:7, 1 Corinthians 11:18-26 2) Singing: Eph 5:19. Col  [ Read More ]

FROM THE HEART OF AN OLDER WOMAN A couple of weeks ago we had Waldo come home from college for the holidays. It was Sunday morning and Waldo never showed up for Bible class or worship service. His parents were asking, “Where’s Waldo?” They got home to find Waldo visiting with old high school friends. After the friends left, Waldo’s mother asked him if he attended services while at college  [ Read More ]
